I'm running the itg3200 code, which has an I2C object as a class member. Upon initialization the i2c is set to 400kz, but when I write it outputs 100khz even if I set the frequency right before I call write. If I create a new I2c object right before the write function it works fine. The i2c object is private. Any ideas why it wont support 400khz?

Hi Andres,

Would it be possible to post the code you're using?

Are there any other I2C devices you use where this happens?

The main loop creates a gyro object then calls burst gyro. I declare the object as extern in main.h. And yes it is the only i2c device at the moment.

//declaration of I2c object in .h file

private:
I2C i2c_1;

//initializing gyro

ITG3200::ITG3200(PinName sda, PinName scl) : i2c_1(sda, scl) {


//400kHz, fast mode.
i2c_1.frequency(400000);

//Set FS_SEL to 0x03 for proper operation.
//See datasheet for details.
char tx[2];
tx[0] = DLPF_FS_REG;
//FS_SEL bits sit in bits 4 and 3 of DLPF_FS register.
tx[1] = 0x03 << 3;

i2c_1.write((ITG3200_I2C_ADDRESS << 1) & 0xFE, tx, 2);

}

//function that runs at 100khz

void ITG3200::burstGyro(void){
i2c_1.frequency(400000);

char tx = GYRO_XOUT_H_REG;
char rx[6];

i2c_1.write((ITG3200_I2C_ADDRESS << 1) & 0xFE, &tx, 1,1);

i2c_1.read((ITG3200_I2C_ADDRESS << 1) | 0x01, rx, 6,1);

int16_t x_rate_raw = ((int) rx[0] << 8) | ((int) rx[1]);
int16_t z_rate_raw = ((int) rx[2] << 8) | ((int) rx[3]);
int16_t y_rate_raw = ((int) rx[4] << 8) | ((int) rx[5]);

gyro_data[0] = x_rate_raw/14.375 - x_rate_zero;
gyro_data[1] = z_rate_raw/14.375 - y_rate_zero;
gyro_data[2] = y_rate_raw/14.375 - z_rate_zero;

}

Found the problem. Even though I wasnt including a specific .h file another I2C object within that file was causing problems.

Good to hear you've got it working!
